INGREDIENTS

2 oz whole wheat spaghetti

3 slice center-cut bacon

2 large eggs

0.5 cup liquid egg whites

2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

1 clove garlic

0.25 cup fresh parsley

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.13 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, dice the bacon and cook in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy.

• 3

  Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then turn the heat to low.

• 4

  In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, liquid egg whites, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.

• 5

  Reserve 0.25 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the bacon.

• 6

  Remove the skillet from the heat entirely and quickly pour in the egg mixture, tossing constantly with tongs to create a silky, creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.

• 7

  Thin the sauce with the reserved pasta water if needed, then stir in the chopped fresh parsley and sea salt before serving.
